@dadeisvenm: It depends on how you want to take it. Some parents trust their children to be up at those times on vacations or weekends. Mine did. Does it make them bad parents? No. Do I have a screwed up sleep schedule? I'd attribute any poor sleeping habits to my academic career than their parenting. Any negative…

@HAZman27: It's a trust issue. I suppose, given particular circumstances, a parent can grow to trust an individual enough to care for their child without there being blood or marriage relation. Given the situation here, yeah, it appears to be a hideously tragic and idiotic mistake, but maybe the family genuinely…

@Strangelove: I remember staying up that late with family friends when I was that age. It was actually pretty common for us around the holidays. They were as good as family, so we'd stay up and play Pokemon or whatever, and Mom would wake up so often to check up on us. Having the opportunity to do that was a trust…

@dadeisvenm: What does the time have to do anything? What? His murderer was tired and a little more edgy than usual? It's a holiday break; some parents kind of let their kids enjoy it, though in a number of ways. In what way does this appeal to the context of "common sense?" People don't get murdered if they go to bed…

@Imma Let You Finish, but, You Gunna Eat That?: Awesome weapons with limited ammunition throughout a level or an entire game. "Here, take this awesome boomstick, but quake in fear that you won't have enough ammunition for some super-badass encounter later."

@DouglasJayFalcon: Or... DD. Har!

@Wolfenstein: Gaming blog is still a blog?

@Dayvie: Wait for a sequel. They'll port the original.

@uncle_paul: Electronic Arts did publish the game, after all. They aren't exactly known for their consideration to fans/customers over money.

@SlinkyGuy - Loves Borderlands to death!: More often than not, it's shitty spawn points. You have a bad death after your first spawn, the spawn system's going to screw you sideways the rest of the game.

@Komrade Kayce: I've had to resist going for a second time for the Round 2 title. Damn that'd go nicely with my Tiger emblem...

@DARTH_TIGRIS: I wonder if there will be any class-specific bonuses. That'd be pretty sweet. Universal bonuses are nice, but it'd feel like BioWare really cared about the time we've put in with our individual characters by giving us bonuses for our classes.

@Spnkr: "Yeah, so I'm putting together this Think Tank of Awesome. You in?"

@warjilis: Spooky.

@wintersault: That's how it was for me. I'd bought into all the pre-release "it's going to suck" sentiment, honestly thinking that the movie was going to tank just as badly as game counterparts normally do, but I was completely blown away. The world was absolutely beautiful, the most amazing and interesting thing I…

@henhowc: I'd rather read the magazine. Online content's pretty cool, but I've always loved having something in my hands, something physical.

@SuperTongue: I'm often compelled to play higher difficulty levels if there's an achievement incentive. Before achievements, I would eventually take on the highest difficulty just for a little personal victory, but I'd rarely play it more than once or twice, depending on the game.

@moose39: I don't know if it's meant to appeal to teenagers any more than it's to appeal to that inner voice in all gamers that says, "Hey. Let's just forget complete and total immersion and be silly for awhile."

@ploopsy: With some of the critical response associated with District 9, slapping on a God of War III demo wasn't too bad of an idea.

So when BioWare, EA, and (as far as we can assume) Microsoft run rampant with the IP and drag it through the metaphorical mud to drain it of every last potential dollar, will people bitch and moan as incessantly as they do about Halo?
